NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Additional
information regarding the financial statements can be found in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 1997
included in the 1997 Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (principally consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
condition as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the results of
operations and changes in its cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997 and from January 24, 1995 (inception) to March 31, 1998.
NET LOSS PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT
Net loss per limited partnership unit is computed by dividing net loss
for the period by the weighted-average number of limited partnership units
outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of limited
partnership units outstanding during the three months period ended March 31,
1998 and 1997 was approximately 2,825.9 and 2,761.2 respectively.
3. CONTINGENCY
On April 6, 1998 the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon dismissed a
suit filed by certain limited partners of the Partnership against the
Partnership, the General Partner, certain of their officers, directors,
employees and consultants. The suit alleges that defendants employed
misstatements and omissions of fact in connection with the sale of limited
partnership units of the Partnership and seeking the return of their
investment plus interest and attorney fees. The plaintiffs have filed a
motion to abate order which seeks to clarify the court's order.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The Partnership was formed in January 1995 and is managed by the General
Partner. The Partnership was organized to acquire, own and operate personal
communication services PCS licenses in frequency Block C and to take
advantage of the benefits that the FCC has set aside for Entrepreneurs. The
Partnership's income to date has consisted only of interest earnings as the
Partnership was awarded the Licenses on January 22, 1997 and has not yet
established operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
REVENUES
The Partnership's sole source of revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1998
continued to be interest income. Interest income for this quarter was
$107,770. In the first quarter of 1997, the Partnership had interest earnings
of $109,707.
EXPENSES
Expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 totaled $1,598,526 expenses for
the same period in 1997 amounted to $8,452,647. The Partnership's expenses in
the first quarter of 1997 were greater than the first quarter of 1998. The
expenses for the first quarter of 1997 included the $6,511,250 advanced to
Romulus Telecommunications, Inc. ("Romulus") under the Services Agreement,
pursuant to which Romulus had assisted the Partnership in obtaining its
licenses. The Partnership has filed a suit attaching the $6,511,250 deposited
in an escrow account in connection with its efforts to recover the costs,
penalties and fines which were incurred as a result of the bidding error in
the Norfolk, Virginia market. In addition, during the first quarter of 1998
there has been a reduction in legal fees compared with the same period of
1997 because the litigation the Partnership is engaged is at an advanced
stage and some issues have been satisfactorily resolved.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership had assets totaling $285,466,136
consisting of $8,190,645 in cash and cash equivalents, $72,673 in prepaid
expenses, $25,000 on deposit, $277,074,801 of PCS licenses, including
$32,502,000 in capitalized interest $103,017 in equipment and current
liabilities of $10,973,912 and long term liabilities due to the FCC including
accrued interest of $233,647,500. In addition, the Partnership is continuing
to seek additional capital for purposes of developing the licenses. The
Partnership's efforts to raise additional capital to develop licenses is
dependent upon whether the Partnership retains any of the licenses. Failure
to retain its licenses or the failure to prevail in the litigation to which
the Partnership is subject will have a material adverse effect on the
Partnership's business and operations. Although no assurance can be made, the
Partnership expects to raise the additional amounts it needs to develop the
licenses it retains. The Partnership currently estimates that, if it elects
not to utilize any of the options contained in the Reconsideration Order, it
will need to raise approximately $290 million over the next three years to
develop all of the Licenses. In addition, the Partnership owes the federal
government approximately $309,863,813 plus accrued interest at 6.5% of
$23,994,637 in connection with the acquisition of the Licenses. At March 31,
1998, the notes payable to the FCC are presented net of a discount of
approximately $91,213,000.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Partnership is subject to certain legal proceedings and FCC
proceedings which were described in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1997 (the "1997 Form 10-K").
As previously reported in the Partnership's 1997 Form 10-K, on January 27,
1997, the trustee of the SDE Trust filed a complaint for damages of $300
million and equitable relief against Unicom Corporation, the former General
Partner ("Unicom"), SuperTel Communications Corp., the General Partner
("SuperTel"), the Partnership and certain officers and directors, trustees of
trusts holding Unicom shares and attorneys. In an order dated July 21, 1997,
the Judge granted the Company's motion to move this case to Puerto Rico. The
SDE Trust filed an appeal with the California Court of Appeals on April 28,
1998, and the Company's response is due on July 23, 1998.
As previously reported in the Partnership's 1997 Form 10-K, two separate
civil actions were filed in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for
Multnomah County in November 1996 and August 1997 that have now been
consolidated for all purposes. In February 1998, the court dismissed the
racketeering claim and on April 6, 1998, dismissed the other claims on grounds
of improper forum. The plaintiffs filed a motion to abate order which seeks to
clarify the court's order.
As previously reported in the Partnership's 1997 Form 10-K, the Company
obtained a stay of the Romulus and Easton arbitration proceedings. The order
of the U.S. Federal District Court for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
staying the proceedings has been appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the First Circuit.
ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K
